You can (or at least could) put Bravia TVs into “pro mode” and turn off all the shit.

Sonic Adventure

• property damage
• animal abduction
• petty theft
• fishing without a license
• treasure hunting without a license.

Ditto… ish.

In my dream I mixed up some constraints of the real-world system. I still came up with an elegant solution that would have worked if the dreams constraints were true. Except they weren’t and the solution was useless.

Bonus was the dream-solution exposed a “front door” so to speak on the real problem and I felt dumb that I even spent 5 minutes thinking about it.

I suspect it’s a cost/capability/requirements thing.

The larger the corporation, the more likely they’re going to have SSO as a minimum requirement. The more inflexible your customers are, the more you can charge.

“Android auto for phone screens” is another product they killed: https://www.androidpolice.com/google-kills-android-auto-for-phone-screens/

Google-Wave your Google-Pay-Meet device over the Google-Reader and we’ll Google-Optimize your purchase so you can get back to Google-Hangouting with your friends faster than you can say “watch Google Play Movies & TV on Android Auto for phone screens”

I’m reminded I had a classmate who was Yugoslavian.

At the time I had no idea what was going on in the world at the time.

This would be better if it fed the parent comment into ChatGPT prefixed with “create a plausible but factually incorrect aggressive response to

Feed the machine to the machine!

Providing it has tabs, I’ll use it.

Yep, let’s keep lowering the bar on “rich” so the actual rich can hide away while we start to attack our neighbours and friends who more than likely got a little lucky once.

I’m not saying FHBs are “poor”. Yes, they’re better off than most. But I don’t think lumping them in with the “rich” is fair. They’re not buying Maseratis, or building a property portfolio, or sitting pretty on 500k CEO salaries.

A bottle is hard to rinse lid or not.

Wouldn’t you just rough chop the material and then rinse it?

Because the network is old and the trains don’t have room for non folding bikes.

A normal bicycle is going to block entrances and exits to carriages, and in the case of an emergency that could be fatal.

Plug a USB-C screen into a USB-C port. Will it work?

Maybe? If the manufacturer has wired the port to the GPU for DP/HDMI alt mode it might.

… but you’ve used this display on this laptop before?

Try another port! Nope, still nothing.

Maybe it’s the cable? Rummage around through your cables and try a few out. Hope you don’t have any from the 2010s because there’s a good chance they’ll ruin your device.

The screen works! But performance is terrible, why? It’s running in DisplayLink mode.

You give up and suffer through.

Beat friend, wank buddy, jerk mate, cum companion.

This is too close to home.

You can get this done on AliExpress

“It’s ok to inconvenience people, because they probably have bigger inconveniences bothering them”

While blocking the footpath making your disabled/pushchair-pushing/child neighbours life just a little bit more unsafe and harder.

This annoys the shit out of me.

I’ve got a /unique/ device that I use to exclusively run a single specialist app. It’s 5 years old, and it does the job.

Well, did the job. But they dropped support for Android9. Can’t unlock the bootloader (technically I can, but any rom just bootloops) and the vendor stopped releasing updates in 2021.

Sure, it’s an edge case. But I’ve got perfectly functioning hardware, to run perfectly functioning software and 6 months ago everything worked fine.

Now it doesn’t, and I’ve either got to find replacement software, or hardware. And I’m probably just… not. Everyone loses. Hardware manufacturers don’t get a sale to replace broken hardware (and it wouldn’t have been long, the phone has been yeeted down the road at 70km/h more than once), software vendors lose my subscription, and I just have a shitty experience.

And why? Because of some way software is packaged. Who benefits from this?

I think Something will have to change quite significantly.

Search engines give heavy weighting to uniqueness of content. And with Lemmy content being replicated across the fediverse that doesn’t exactly happen.

And I’m not sure you can set a canonical URL that’s off site. And then, if it does and that site goes down, you “lose” the content.
